Yeah i think i fixed it in v24, i got your error logs Im planning on moving the entire database online (SQL)

Just released v23, has a very basic unattended setup tool but i will add new unattended options if request, if a few fixes and also the ability to integrate unattended files. I now need you help.... let me know your favourite registry tweaks!

Is there any specific unattended anyone wants, im doing the usual stuff, like Name, Computer Name, Network Location, Screen Resolution, HideEULA, etc.. but does anyone have any they need which i can add. If you know where it is located aswell then please let me know i.e. oobeSystem > Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup

Thanks ricktendo64, i'll have a look.

Can someone please send me a BASIC unattended.xml i.e. Name, Workgroup, create a user, just the basics for now as i know nothing about unattended.xml W7T wont be able to understand .exe, .WA is basically a .7z file which has been renamed to .WA because it has a certain layout within the file i.e. Tasks.txt and the files. If i let users add .exe files then users will try and select files which wont even work. Hope that made sense.

You mean the backgrounds?

Updated the first post and keep checking to see what's changed as its updated every 1 or 2 days. Any Questions? 19.07.2010: Today i have finished the Feature Manager and will be released to tester hopefully soon, there may be some errors at first as some features require other features to be enabled first and i can't remember the DISM command which makes it install the needed features. Anyway's the errors will saying that Feature A requires feature B,C,D to be enabled first and i have quite coded in the function which auto selects them yet. 19.07.2010: I have also finished the Update Checker, had a few problems at first and had another problem which made W7T hang during at start while it checked for updates. 19.07.2010: Third update of the day, just finished the All-In-One Integrator which merges Addon Integrator, Driver Integrator and Update Integrator. Its finished and the first test worked flawlessly The purpose of this tool is so you can integrate everything in one complete go! 19.07.2010: The Addon Integrator now stores the Task.txt within the image so at a later date i can add a screen which shows integrated updates! Quick Question... In the new W7T *.cab versions of Language Packs are included shall i get rid of the old *.exe ones? Cab Installer can install the LP.cab files. EDIT: Added alpha in first post again, enjoy Added some images, released v22. Also check out the "ToDo" list If you have tried the latest alpha and had a good experience, feel free to let us all know

W7T 0.7.0 News Hey I'm Legolash2o the creator of Windows 7 Toolkit, my aim in 0.7.0 is to try and bring together all your requests without making it more confusing! I hope to release the new version by August which will hopefully be enough time to include code clean up and testing. Alpha versions will be sent to testers and Beta versions will be released to the public! Quite a lot has changed so far, which i will be updating below (inc. change log) and i hope you really enjoy the changes as i am doing my best. I'm more than happy to read your requests so don't forget to leave them here. I am going to warn you though that Unattended Setup will take some time to do as i have to do research, this may not make it in this release but i WILL try. >>>>>Try Windows 7 Toolkit 0.7.0 Alpha<<<<< Version 0.7.0.22 Alpha is the last version I'm going to upload on MediaFire, if there is an update available it will tell you when you start W7T. Please report any bugs via PM, thanks News ------------------------- 16.07.2010: *I have completely redone the Tools Manager, which has had very good feedback so far as it is soo much less confusing! *When W7T did certain tasks like mounting an image it used nearly 50% of the CPU and 20MB of RAM to wait for that process to finish. Now it only uses 0% of CPU and 20MB during the same tasks. What an improvement!!!!! *Addon Maker has been redesigned and allows you delete files and folders in the WIM. If you mix that with the current ability to delete registry entries you could technically make an addon which removes components such as Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, add Tweaks, whatever the you want.... 17.07.2010: *You will now have the ability to set W7T priority via Options, normally done via Task Manager. I have got rid of the Language Pack Converter but i have added cab files to the Language Packs list. 18.07.2010: *You can download the latest database via the Options Menu, W7T checks to see the latest version on startup and then prompts you that there is a new version available. I have also limited the [RUNCMD] command to DISM only, this feature lets you run commands during integration i.e. Disable a feature in the image before it is removed with the addon. 19.07.2010: *Today i have finished the Feature Manager and will be released to tester hopefully soon, there may be some errors at first as some features require other features to be enabled first and i can't remember the DISM command which makes it install the needed features. Anyway's the errors will saying that Feature A requires feature B,C,D to be enabled first and i have quite coded in the function which auto selects them yet. *I have also finished the Update Checker, had a few problems at first and had another problem which made W7T hang during at start while it checked for updates. *Third update of the day, just finished the All-In-One Integrator which merges Addon Integrator, Driver Integrator and Update Integrator.

The purpose of this tool is so you can integrate everything in one complete go! *The Addon Integrator now stores the Task.txt within the image so at a later date i can add a screen which shows integrated updates! 20.07.2010: *The All-In-One Integrator is fully completed and now support QFE/LDR Integration. *Office 2010 should have some updates in it now, the database will be updated before final release *I have done a very very basic Unattended Setup, i will however add specific ones on request so don't worry. Also, the new All-In-One Integrator has the option of integrating the .xml file you create and so does the WIM Manager when you mount an image! *WIM Manager is less laggy, infact i can now move the window when its mounting/dismounting an image! *By default W7T will not show the mount/unmount popups anymore however you can change that via Options. 22.07.2010: *If you mount a wim using WIM Manger you now have the option to select an unattended.xml file to integrate into it, ive also added an option in the new AIO Integrator which lets you do the same thing during the integration *Cab Installer and the original Update Integrator now also support QFE/LDR installs, in order to integrate the update in LDR mode, W7T automatically installs the update normally and then applied the "update-bf.mum" file afterwards. *MSU to CAB Converter has been updated to show more details when adding updates. *When exporting an image using the WIM Manager, it shows you the imagex window which shows you the progress. *You can now change your Logon Background on both OS Tweaker and WIM Tweaker, also a few other tweaks and i am still open for suggestions for what tweaks to add *I have also fixed an issue where when a task was running the form would be disabled and you are unable to move it or do anything, i have now fixed this and it now only disables the correct parts which still allows you to move the window around. THE BIGGEST NEWS OF ALL *W7T Database is now stored on via an SQL Server, which if a new update comes out i can add it and you will all be able to see it next time you open W7T rather than waiting for me to release the W7T.accdb file. Also using this method i can check for new W7T version and display the new changelog within a second *Also i've changed the compile mode from x86 to AnyCPU because i couldn't before as W7T.accdb requried it in x86 mode. AnyCPU means it will work better on x64 computers as good as it will on x86 i.e. less errors and problems as its more compatible. ------------------------------------ Change log *BIG: Entire database is online (SQL) *FIX: SoLoR Updates now lets you sort by column *FIX: Downloader did not add all SoLoR updates *FIX: SoLoR displayed date instead of size in downloader *FIX: Export Image showed when image was mounted in WIM Manager *FIX: Change Default Background Tweak did not work *FIX: Not all buttons appears afer CAB Installer finished task *FIX: Update Integrator disable form during task *FIX: CAB Installer disabled form during task Tweak:Speed Up Desktop Tweak: Change Logon Wallpaper Tweak: Change Logon Text (Shadows/darkness) *7z.exe, 7z.dll and imagex.exe are now stored internally *Language Packs now have their own tab *Addon Integrator supports [DELETE] *Addon Integrator supports [RUNCMD] (DISM only) *Added DISM to cleanup Tool *Added option to run cleanup tool on exit (Options) *Added option to show/hide Mount/Unmount processes (Options) *New Tools Manager *Driver Integrator now uses DISM *Rebuild All added in WIM Manager *Redesigned Addon Maker *Addon Maker lets you make new shortcuts *Addon Maker lets you add delete tasks *Addon Maker lets you add DISM commands *SoLoR Updates now includes Update Packs section *Language packs now have pre-converted files (*.cab) *Added Priority options (Options) *Code enhancements and cleanup *Added Update Checker on startup *Download latest database via Options Menu *Added Feature Manager WIM *Added Feature Manager OS *Added All-In-One Integrator *Added Error Log feature *All-In-One Integrator support QFE/LDR Mode *Added basic Unattended Creator (Misc Tools) *Added Apply Unattended when image is mounted on WIM Manager *CAB Installer supports QFE/LDR installs *Update Integrator supports QFE/LDR installs *MSU to CAB Converter has been updated to display more info *Export on WIM Manager now uses imagex so you can see progress *Tweaks: Unsigned Themes* ToDo List *Tweaks: Set document folders e.g. Music, Picture, Videos, etc..

Any more suggestions, ideas or whatever? The mini-beta had good feedback so far!

Unfortunately it will not allow me to remove Updates from the image, dism keeps giving "Error 87" whenever i try to remove an update. It was something saying to couldn't read the package...

Great news *Reaper*

For those who wish to speak to me about a suggestion add liamcrozier2005@hotmail.co.uk to MSN. When it gives you a change to send you a message type in "WinCert - username" so i know who you are Im on msn now (at time of writing)

Open vlite Tasks Tab > Tick Components, making sure everything else is unticked Components Tab> Make sure NOTHING is ticked/selected Click Apply > Rebuild All This will not remove/change anything and will just rebuild them all.

use vLite to "Rebuild All" once you have integrated the addons into all of them, i can add this feature in W7T too if you wish ("Image Rebuilder" or whatever name).

Ok driver integrator will use DISM which will have the option for removing Drivers too Any other requests? EDIT: is the new update itnegrator working fine, does it hang, display installed updates fine, etc..? If so i wil add uninstall support.

Would you like me to add an "Add Image" or "Capture Image" button to the WIM Manager to make it easier?

Ok the deleting files in the addon integrator is done, OMG it was so difficult just to delete a damn folder. 1. Take Ownership 2. Set Permission to full control 3. Remove "Read-only" attribute on every file/folder in all the directories 4. Delete folder + subdirectories Luckily it does all this quickly EDIT: Quick questions, do you guys like the current Driver Integrator method where it runs an app at the end of Windows Installation, which you can cancel? or would you rather just use DISM and have no app at the end of install?

Use "Capture Image" tool and make sure you select "Existing WIM" I think that is what you mean by "import image".

You can't, you have to do it manually. However you will be able to remove them in the next version 0.7.0

So i will put Update/Driver/Addon Integrator onto one form, i will also add the ability to delete file using an addon. example: [DELETEFILE] Windows\Media\example.mp3 [DELETEFOLDER] Windows\Media With the method of it automatically do each image individually it will take some time for it to complete the tasks but you should be able to leave your computer and watch tv or whatever you do in you spare time. Will the above work for you?

Well on Update Integrator, Drivers Integrator and Addon Integrator you can select multiple images on the WIM Manager screen, integrates into one image then it saves it, mounts the next, integrates, then saves, etc.... Or did you want the Update/Driver/Addons Integrator all on one screen to it does them all. I do not know of a method with mounts an image and then it updates them all in one go, so there is only one mount and save.

1. No multi languages, i might do it add the very very end 2. Unattended Setup already on the list 3. Please explain further about the Addon Integrator and XML file. You mean the tasks.txt?

Nah i won't shoot you, i do like a good challenge! Added to the list (thats a yes), although default wallpaper is already in the WIM Tweaker Sure, i'll give that a go as long as it it just requires a dll to be overwritten as i don't have a clue about editing DLL files. Ermm, this was already in the list... this is something i want as well

I will try adding it so you can change the default Home folders (Music, Videos, Documents, etc...) but i won't make it create a new partition for them, that could go horribly wrong and i don't want to be responsible for corrupting files

So far for version 0.7.0 i have.... Tools marked with "Beta" will be finished off."Feature Manager" - turn on/off windows features of a wim image. This tool has nearly been completed."Unattended Setup" - self explanatory, have not started this yet as its a big task and got to do research.Language Packs will get their own tab on the main screen to make the update section less cluttered.Further cleanup of code, files, etc...However, "Language Pack Converter" will be completely removed as i can not get it working, you have to be using x64 windows to extract x64 language pack or x86 windows to extract x86 language pack. I will have another attempt at this so fingers crossed. I was also considering the Language Pack tab will have pre-converted cab files on there too So what are you ideas? (Please don't say having W7T in multiple languages)
